The world downplays the importance of a father's place in the family, but we understand that it is a sacred, eternal calling full of joy and satisfaction. Gospel scholar and bestselling author David J. Ridges presents uplifting words to fathers, drawing from the family proclamation, reminding them of the importance of their role in mortality and through the eternities. This great Father's Day gift will inspire and teach how vital the role and responsibilities of the priesthood, marriage, and fatherhood are in the home.
